(1) Avoid debates in front of others — if others are watching it tends to create unproductive social dynamics. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/kLRtuEpoJO

(2) Stay on topic — very often the topic of disagreement will start to drift. Resist the urge to go down side tangents or to switch what the debate is about, or you’ll lose focus on the important core of the disagreement. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/pc27j2yGxB

(3) Investigate first, don’t attack — when someone says something we strongly disagree with, we can be tempted to immediately attack their position. However, doing so sets up the discussion as a war. @juliagalef's Scout Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MYEtQ5Zdn8 … https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/5rMLdChsH7

(4) Clarify the other person’s claims — it’s surprisingly easy to have a long disagreement without fully understanding what the other person really meant. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/PtmxTW4SiD

(5) Clarify definitions — language tends to be quite ambiguous. If the points you are making hinge on someone understanding your definition of a word, then take a moment to clarify what you mean by it. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/RHFPSzRM2m

(6) Ask for the reasons underlying belief — don’t just stop at understanding WHAT the other person is claiming. If you actually want to make progress in the debate, you’ll need to dig into the reasons behind their beliefs. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/43GAzoqrxQ

(7) Gently probe the reasons you’re given — if someone tells you that the reason they believe X is Y, don’t assume that if you were to change their belief in Y then belief X would change too. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/ZPEAd5v30u

(8) Look for the critical points of disagreement — there may be a lot of reasons that you and the other person disagree, but they are unlikely to be equally important.

(9) Point out agreement — agreeing tends to make people feel closer to each other and to make a debate feel less heated and awkward, so it’s good to point out the things that you do already agree on. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/yxK0UgG5I0

(10) Look for ways you can learn — one of the best things about a disagreement is that it presents an opportunity to make your own views more accurate. https://www.facebook.com/spencer.greenberg/posts/10103488673167802 …pic.twitter.com/7HeBB2DIQ6
